According to reports, it was travelling fine, unless the last 30 seconds saw the jet mysteriously drop to lower altitudes, finally crashing, killing all onboard including the mercenary Wagner group's chief. Kremlin on Friday said that it was an absolute lie that they were involved Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin's death in the plane crash.

"There is now a great deal of speculation surrounding this plane crash and the tragic deaths of the plane's passengers, including Yevgeny Prigozhin. Of course, in the West, all this speculation is presented from a well-known angle," Peskov told reporters.
